[quote=saden1;763339]This is what happens when you get out coached. Shanahans = absolute morons![/quote]

Im not really giving up on them as of yet. It's not there fault that they inherited a team full of over paid bums.

[quote=DynamiteRave;763420]I think Quake was trying to figure out why they ran with [B]Davis instead of Williams[/B], when Williams has at least shown he can make it upfield. Its like trying to eat your noodles with a spoon instead of a fork. You can do it if you work real hard at it... But don't expect it to be pretty.[/quote]

That is the question for me.

Re: Where was Keiland Williams???
 

Okay, so Keiland had 3 carries and Davis had 6.

That's what has everybody upset tonight? Tell me, honestly -- would the outcome have been any different if those numbers had been reversed?

I think if Williams had 20+ carries he may have made a diff. I think he should have been used after that huge B. Banks return. That Vikes D stayed fresh all day long.

The point is Davis showed nothing where Williams showed he has something to build on going into todays game.

With that said, At least we got a look at Davis today.

I was more displeased with our inability to dump it over the anticipated blitz.

I meant to say over Keiland Williams sorry.

[quote=SouperMeister;763343]Yet another shitty offensive gameplan by Boy Wonder. [B] Daddy probably scripted the plays on the first drive that worked so well. [/B] It never occurred to Junior that perhaps our O-line needed extra TE help on the edge when McNabb was getting swarmed in the 2nd half.[/quote]

i wouldn't doubt it...

Re: Where was Keiland Williams???
 

This is Kyle's offense, I doubt Mike has any game day input or scripts plays.

Just about everybody scripts their first 10 to 15 plays of the game. Probably not Mike per se, but I would imagine Kyle definitely scripts plays.

Re: Where was Keiland Williams???
 

Yes Kyle does script the opening plays, I just don't think Mike has anything to do with it.

I don't believe Mike has anything to do with scripting the plays, but I'm sure he has some input into game plan strategy of the offense to a certain degree, albeit probably not very much input.

Re: Where was Keiland Williams???
 

This coaching staff shows the propensity to quickly abandon the running game when it's not as productive as it possibly could be early in games. Abandoning the run, then running play-action fakes is what's confounding to me. No defense is going to honor the fake when you've shown an inability to run successfully.

With the o/l being the mixed bag it has become, it's very difficult at this time to get any consistency going in either phase of the game. Last week o/l gets a game ball, this week further demonstrated the up and down nature of this team.

Re: Where was Keiland Williams???
 

You know it's bad when we're asking about a 3rd string RB.

Re: Where was Keiland Williams???
 

I don't know if as a whole the Redskins were out coached yesterday. Now where I question the coaches and have consistently questioned the coaches is:

One, continuing to play Casey Rabach.
Two, misusing/underutilizing Haynesworth.

The fact is that at this point in the season, Minnesota is more talented than us and Favre did not give us any turnovers. We made more mistakes than them and we just aren't good enough to overcome that.

As far as the running game, I don't think we are ever going to be able to run consistently if Rabach is hiking the ball.

Re: Where was Keiland Williams???
 

You have to run the ball with the RBs more then 9 times.
We have no idea how the running game would have panned out if we actually tried to run the ball.
We're an outside zone/outside edge running team (and the Vikings run weakness is on the edge w/ their Jared Allen and a back-up! LDE) yet we ran inside w/ our least experienced RB: James Davis when Keiland Williams was perfectly healthy.
But it either way 6 carries for James Davis and 3 carries for Keiland Williams is not enough to establish a running game.
